For 2000, the Almanac is proud to present a special expanded issue -- 320 pages of facts, fun, and a few surprises to accompany the turn of the millennium. This commemorative edition, featuring 48 pages of fascinating reference material found only in the bookstore edition, also includes feature stories, weather forecasts, puzzles, gardening charts, recipes, precise astronomical data, and charming anecdotes. Readers can find instruction on making their own time capsules, raising chickens, and staying awake on long-distance drives; cook treasured recipes from family reunions across the country; and read all about the state of romance in the year 2000. Consumer trends, scientific predictions for the 21st century, garden truths and myths, and many other articles fill the issue. And the Almanac still has that hole punched in the corner so you can hang it up in a handy spot and consult it every day!
